It is clear from this edit that the subject of this article was a friend of Amandajm, the main editor of the article. This is in direct contravention of WP:COI, particularly this sentence: "You should not create or edit articles about yourself, your family or friends.". Mary IV (talk) 15:59, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
- Mary IV: If you reread WP:COI, you see, in boldface, when advancing outside interests is more important to an editor than advancing the aims of Wikipedia, that editor stands in a conflict of interest. No outside interests are being advanced by this article. I do have concerns regarding WP:OWN, but Amandajm is an experienced editor and I'm certain that these can be hashed out. I'll add that editing topics that you're passionate about can be difficult, and editing topics where you have expertise can be hugely frustrating (see WP:RANDY), but neither of these necessarily involve a conflict of interest.

- Having known the subject, even well, is not a COI, because the warm glow one feels at seeing an appropriate article develop about someone you've known isn't an "outside interest". But it does mean one needs to edit with special care, and as pointed out OWN can be a problem. EEng (talk) 18:39, 27 June 2014 (UTC)
